Harley-Davidson is passionate about empowering women to cast aside their doubts and fears and make their voices heard on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The experience of riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is really like no other! A Garage Party provides a road map to riding for local women who want to cast aside their doubts and learn more about what it means to take life by the handlebars and start fulfilling their motorcycle dreams. Harley-Davidson dealerships from across the country have been hosting Garage Parties since 2005. Garage Parties are free events designed specifically with women in mind. The events are great for women interested in learning to ride and are both entertaining and educational, offering an intimidation-free zone for women to connect with like-minded women. Garage Parties are free events but do require an RSVP as space is limited.

THE PARTY PLAN

Garage Party event attendees are organized into small groups, getting their first taste of camaraderie that goes along with riding. Groups will visit four informational stations with challenges to compete for prizes, including:

Motorcycle Orientation-is a basic introduction to the motorcycle controls, as well as all of the models in the Harley-Davidson family.

MotorClothes Gear-to discover the important attributes needed in head-to-toe motorcycle gear, from helmets to protective leather to proper footwear.

Motorcycle Fit & Function-to learn how to customize a motorcycle to reflect a rider's personal style and ergonomic needs.

Bike Lift-is a hands-on demonstration that proves that picking up something big-even a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle-isn't as hard as you might think.

Between stations, women get the chance to interact with each other, as well
as hear from women who are already grabbing life by the handlebars.

Women ride motorcycles for the same reasons men do---for the freedom and adventure. Many women say they get a sense of empowerment and control from mastering a motorcycle, since many started on the back as a passenger. Garage Party events provide an inviting environment for women to learn about the sport of motorcycling, as well as meet other women who are interested in riding. Garage Party guests can expect activities to be both entertaining and educational with topics including a review of the basic motorcycle controls, how to customize a motorcycle's style and ergonomics and how to gear-up for a ride.
